Pamper your sweetie with lights, Legos and special chocolate

OK, there are only two days until Valentine’s Day. Here are some things to surprise your sweetie.
1. Legos.
For sweathearts of all ages.
There are hundreds of Lego kits big and small that make for a fun, special evening with the one you love.
BobaKhan Toys, 500 SE Everett Mall Way, sells Legos by the piece or cup. The shop also has superhero stuff galore for the super-special man/woman/child in your life.
Buy and trade all things Lego at Bricks & Minifigs, a superstore in Monroe with bins and bulk of Legos. The Monroe store has Lego parties and make-and-takes. It’s in a strip plaza at 14650 N. Kelsey St., Suite 102, Monroe. Closed Sunday. More at www.bricksandminifigs.com.
2. Special candy.
This is for adults only — and in small portions only. Try a bar with dark chocolate plus hazelnuts in a fair trade 72 percent cacao, gluten-tree, all-natural. The 4.20 bar by Evergreen Herbals is .42 ounces, 60 calories … and has 10 mg THC.
It is one of the many edibles at recreational marijuana stores. More at www.forevergreenherbal.com.
3. Romance.
The Seattle Great Wheel lights up the waterfront and towers 200 feet above Elliott Bay. The 41 self-enclosed gondolas each hold up to eight people, but with the Valentine’s Day special, you are guaranteed a private cabin for two. Not only that, you get two glasses of champagne (under 21 get sparkling cider) and a photo booth picture. A ticket for two is $59.95. Cabins are loaded on a first-come basis.
The wheel is on Pier 57 at 1301 Alaskan Way, Seattle. More at www.seattlegreatwheel.com.
